Why can't I view the thread about the beautiful day thread?

**internet.news** · 11-30-2003, 11:29 PM

It's been closed / deleted apparently

One suspects that Area 51 may have been used.

I base this on nothing other than intuition and a damn fine hat.

I think because when you do, you load the entire thread and it puts stress on the server, even if you do not reply.

I am just guessing, though.

I think you should be allowed to view it as people will quickly stop viewing a dead thread.

ah ok, it was just weird, it was still there and I saw a new reply from Baz, but when I clicked it I got this 'You are not allowed to see this thread' message.

Was a bit weird

I heard that Jonno used it when he ran out of toilet paper (then again I'm NOT wearing a damn fine hat

)

It has something to do with threads having more than 1000 replies. The server will cache all of the replies per viewer, thus slowing down the Db.

I can hook you up with my hat guy if you wish.

He does do damn fine hats.
